Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "From Centaur to Cross" is a significant exploration of the literary and spiritual legacy of Maurice de Guerin, a master of nineteenth-century French prose poetry. This collection, curated and introduced by the distinguished scholar Gilbert Chinard, brings together Guerin's most evocative works, including "The Centaur" and "The Bacchante," alongside his journals and letters. The work captures the profound transition of a soul caught between the sensuous, elemental beauty of the pagan world and the somber, introspective requirements of Christian faith. Guerin's writing is celebrated for its rhythmic elegance and its ability to give voice to the hidden forces of nature. Through these pages, readers encounter the development of the prose poem as a genre and the emotional intensity of a poet wrestling with mortality and transcendence. By framing the movement from the mythological centaur to the symbolic cross, the volume highlights the tension between classical antiquity and modern religious experience. This edition remains a valuable resource for those interested in French Romanticism, the history of ideas, and the evolution of European lyrical prose.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
